Can these be used solely to keep out noise?

I use them on my motorcycle. They do a great job with road noise and wind. And my music sounds great too!

No, These are noise isolating earbuds, not canceling ones; However, if you have any amount of sound playing into them you will have a very hard time hearing around you. With these at a moderate volume I have stood right next to a lawn mower and only managed to hear it quietly under the music I was listening to.

There very good at noise canceling in my opinion. Often when I'm walking down the street with them on, I get surprised as a car passes a few feet from me. The way they fit in the ear also allows you to comfortably sleep while having these in.

We hope you will find following info helpful.Sound Isolating DesignComfortable sound isolating sleeves block up to 37 dB of ambient noise. Sound isolation technology prevents outside noise from interfering with your listening experience, whether on-stage or on-the-go. Shure Sound Isolating Earphones require a proper fit to achieve the best sound.

If your asking, does outside noise get to your ears? Yes they are not designed to keep all noise out. Designed to keep the volume of frequencies at a level that will not damage yor ears. They do not deaden all sound,which is perfect . They allow you to participate without fear of injury. Hope this was some help.

I'd install some type of insulation.....because you will hear noise on these. Not terrible at all, though.

IMO NO not at all. I have these and I love them for watching TV and music but if you just want to block out surrounding noise, these will not work. I'm very noise sensitive :(

They are really made to reduce "Reflections" of sound in a room, Might not reduce noise that much on the other side of a wall, you would need a more dense material to block the sound. Would be better of with sound proofing or deadening sheets if you are able to install. Also quietrock.com drywall, but you probably can't do that much to the apartment.

NO! They cut down on ambient noise but a loud item such as a chain saw or lawn mower is out of the question!If I pay attention I can hear what my wife is trying to tell me, while I have them on

They may help a bit with vibration (but just a bit) but are not likely to help with the noise. Good luck

Since these are in ear headphones they do block external sounds but if you are looking for active noise cancellation, then the answer is no. Hope this helps.

No. You'd want over eat type, closed cup, headphones specified as noise isolation.

Yes. These work very well for that. I work in an over crowded office environment and these work well to block out noise around me, and work well to talk on the phone. If listening to music, it does not escape to bother anyone around me. Hope this helps.

No. They don't really block out wind very well, so sound will get thru as well.

Yes, they absorb sound. It won't be completely sound proof but it surely will dampen noise.

Not really, they're not exactly noise canceling; on louder volumes, you can keep out noise

These are for acoustics, to balance out frequencies when listening and recording. It's entirely different than soundproofing. Soundproofing is what you need, not this. Short answer: No.

They reduce some of the background noise but not all of it. They are best at reducing regular noises like the hum from air conditioning or air-plane noise. I got them to try and reduce noise from people talking in my office but it didn't really help with that.

No I don't believe they will make outside noises completely silent. I am not sure if there is any product on the market that can do that. Maybe if you added earplugs to it. But I believe it is an excellent product for the price and does help with outside distractions

Hey Theresa. These won't do anything to reduce noise. I'd advise you look for something else.
